I worked for William B. Williams the legendary WNEW-Am deejay when I was in college. He did the narration for the 1968 re-issue trailer of “Around the World in 80 Days”, which opened here at the Astor.

In those above grosses for the Columbia 2, they are showing “Mohammad Messenger of God”. It says something about some reserved seats there and at the Rivoli. Anyone know anything about that?

RobertR commented about Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Jul 22, 2005 at 7:06 am

It’s not like that anymore. I think that picture was taken as the renovations were starting. Fortunately the Lunt Fonatine is painted Creamy ivory with gold gild and looks beautiful now.

I love that expression, I sometimes used it at the end of the showtime tapes when I was a theatre manager.

RobertR commented about Los Feliz 3 Cinemas on Jul 21, 2005 at 2:55 pm

There are pictures here of the theatre and it’s manager. Seems people are very grateful for the early morning “bring along baby” shows.
